On your bike: Tour de law

Lawyers from across the UK will be hitting the pedals in the week 11-17 October, for Breast Cancer Now’s annual charity cycle race, Tour de Law

Law firms and chambers can enter an unlimited number of teams of up to ten cyclists, taking part on road bikes, static bikes at home or in the gym.

Toria Kendrick, partner at Eversheds Sutherland, who has personal experience of breast cancer, said: ‘The pandemic has presented a real challenge for charities―so please join me in doing what you can to raise money and awareness.’ Sign up at tourdelaw.breastcancernow.org.
